When I have spare time I want to learn to play the drums And get stupid tattoos on the knuckles of my thumbs Maybe when I'm older I'll get one for my dad But even if it's pretty I know it'll drive him mad Even if it's pretty I know it'll drive him mad It's hard to stop the feeling that I can do no right Hair's too short, clothes too gay, can't go out like that at night But I want to kiss boys, fall in love on repeat Is love just when you want somebody with you when you sleep? Is love just when you want somebody with you when you sleep? Is love just when you want somebody with you when you sleep? So I'll pierce my nails into my head And drag out all of these loose threads Trace the cracks along my skull And fill the gaps with cotton wool My mind needs patching up I want to stay young because i'm scared of getting old I want to hold onto december while the winter is still cold The rain that trickles down the glass will turn back into the sea When my body turns to ash I wonder what will become of me When my body turns to ash I wonder what will become of me The city's far too loud for me, I want to disappear To a river where the current's the only thing I hear I'll sink down below, grow gills and webs on both my hands Fast-track evolution, scientists won't understand Fast-track evolution, scientists won't understand Fast-track evolution, scientists won't understand So I'll pierce my nails into my head And drag out all of these loose threads Trace the cracks along my skull And fill the gaps with cotton wool My mind needs patching up Shall I dig myself a hole? Start living underground? Would anybody notice if I wasn't around? Laying in the dark, chewing rocks with bloody gums I liked it better thinking about tattoos on my thumbs Liked it better thinking about tattoos on my thumbs I liked it better thinking about tattoos on my thumbs So I'll pierce my nails into my head And drag out all of these loose threads Each fraying stitch I'll try to mend I'm tying up all these loose ends My mind needs patching up Is love just when you want somebody with you when you sleep? Is love just when you want somebody with you when you sleep? Is love just when you want somebody with you when you sleep? My mind needs patching up
